Ligonians

Planet: Ligon II. Well-built, muscular people of dark skin whose culture closely resembles those in feudal Japan and the 13th century Sung Dynasty of China. Ligonians have a highly structured society and live by strict codes of honor; they show great respect for patience and have a passion for ritualistic displays. The women own the land and so convey power (and partnership) to the men they choose to protect it.
